Roland de Sergius:
Sir Roland de Sergius quietly enjoyed his wine as the feast continued. While he had never been known to be one to enjoy too much drink during feasts, he did enjoy drink every now and then. Dressed simply in a surcoat of red and solver, with his family's sigil sewn into the front of the jacket.
Roland nodded at the slightly older knight. "Good to meet you, Gerhard. I am Sir Roland de Sergius." But before long, an old knight approached the two, and Gerhard helped the old knight. As more food was brought out, he would gladly enjoy more, though he would not overindulge himself - images were important here, after all.
Sir Roland doesn't really have a dull moment. As a knight of the Golden Fleece every knight wants to swap stories and every lady wants to dance. If he's not betrothed yet, he might find suitable ladies here, but will they be prestigious enough. At a point in the evening the Castellan will undoubtedly come over and chat. Is there a specific thing you want to do, attempt or be on the lookout for?
Gerhard de Colmar:
Gerhard glanced up, a momentary expression agitation building upon his face as he believed himself to be accosted for the second time. But as he saw the older gentleman his expression softened into one of respect and reverence. Apparently even through several cups of wine Gerhard retained some sort of innate respect, and even perhaps a degree of reverence, for the elderly.
His own livery, that of von Rappoltstein, nearly matched the gentleman's own colors. His own was three red shields, two side by side and a third below forming a sort of triangle, on a field of silver. It was very simple heraldry compared to the chequered backgrounds, mythical animals, and complex symbols more common among the newer or more powerful Houses, but it was old, it was his own, and he took a great deal of pride in it.
"At once mein Herr. I am at your service" Gerhard replied in his native speech, uttered a polite enough excuse to his neighbors, and then stood before he offered his arm to the aged gentleman from Limburg.
Although not as leaned, toned or as handsome as some of the Knights his age seated about him, Gerhard was quite a large man, and he stood out among the crowd of revelers as he protectively guided and sheltered the older gentleman from the sometimes oblivious or simply drunk attendee, sometime with a nudge, as they gradually proceeded towards the great door of the hall.
As you make out of the hall, he guides you to a bench where he asks you to sit with him. Then he just quietly sits with his eyes closed, taking in a deep breath in the warm evening air. The sounds of music and revel are muted, coming both from the hall you just were in as from the city, where food and distraction has been arranged. He remains silent until right the moment where you would speak up. "For me it was the battle of Agincourt.", he said. "That's the one that scarred me ... in more ways than one.", he tells you while tapping his leg. "Ever since then feasts like these have become hard. It looks like you've also had a bad one.", he says. "You don't have to talk if you don't want," he says. "But know I understand, if you ever want. Or if you just need to sit in silence for a moment."
Anne de Arras:
Her eyes switch to the gathered noblemen, giving each a little look in the eye. Nothing as scandalous as a wink, naturally. As she does this, she tries to size them up. Does she recognise any coats of arms, or does anyone look familiar from her times in court? Does anyone look particularly wealthy or mismatched? That brings her to the ladies. Who looks particularly young and naïve? Who looks, well, dangerous? Know thy enemy.
She is clearly lingering by the edge of the room, obviously signalling an availability for a dance.
The rules seem to indicate that rolls should only be made in a conflict, but it has been said that love is a battleground, right? We can cover the "being available" as a dice roll. The intrigue part also seems to be part of a conflict, as in that you're taking positions in the game of intrigue. So let's roll for that as well.
1) Let's say that finding or recognizing someone really important is gonna be rather difficult in a local feast. I'm only going to give you 1 die for that.
2) Finding a naïve and impressionable young lady on the other hand is going to be easy. I'm tempted to just give you that. No roll needed. Looking for the dangerous ones is going to be harder, but not overly so for you I don't think. I'll give you two dice fort this roll.
3) Signaling for dancing is easy. Getting a dance from those you want to dance with is harder. I don't even know if couple dancing was really a thing, but for this scene let's pretend it is or that the group dance will open opportunities for a talk with an interesting person afterward. With many people present this seems to be easy, depending on what you want to get out of it. I think you want to find someone you can catch in your web of intrigue or use as a "puppet lover" of some sort. I'm going to give you two dice for that one.
So that's times rolling for you.
As to the impressionable young lady, do you want to make her up or do you want me to do it? Both are valid.
Helena of Ghent:
Hmmm. It seems Godrey's court is more interesting than I'd thought...
It sure is. Is there any specific course of action you would like to take or would you want me to introduce a new thing?
If there's nothing specific you want to undertake I think that you might recognize a face in the crowd. I'll give you two dice to add to a roll to see if it's a good contact or a bad one. If you roll a one you recognize a friend or ally, if not, it's someone who you at least would not define as a friend. You do the recognizing. Wether or not they see you (yet) is still up to you. But that's only if there's not something else you want to be doing at the feast.
